Agree with Rachel

Rachel, I agree with you. Everyone has a different parenting style, it has to be what fits best with the parents, children and environment.

I have one daughter and I breastfed her for 11 months, I didn't want to stop but my milk stopped. I was proud I could manage that long.

She is 7 and on occasion still sleeps with us. She is a well developed and liked girl. She is active and I grow more proud of her every day.

I don't judge how people parent, sometimes I question who is in control (the parent or the child), but that is for that parent to handle. I only need to worry about my daughter and what is best for her and us as a family.

Those who choose to argue need to find something a little more productive to do with their time, supporting others would be a great start.
